Anticipated £10m valuation of the teenager would not put off Wenger as he seeks to add another Saints old boy alongside Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain

Arsenal are set to make a move for Southampton full-back Calum Chambers.

The
19-year-old has been impressive for the Saints this season – and had one of his best games of the season in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal last month.

His valuation will be around the £10million mark, but that will not dissuade the Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger.

The
right-back role is likely to pose a problem for Wenger next season.

The
indications are that he will lose Bacary Sagna on a free transfer in June. The France international’s contract is up at the end of the season and talks about a new deal have reached deadlock.

If Sagna leaves, Wenger needs reinforcements in that position, and Chambers has been identified as the No.1 target.

Chambers
– an England Under-19 international and another graduate of the Southampton academy – would become the third member of that academy to move to Arsenal.

Wenger has been delighted with the other two signings. Theo
Walcott has become a first team regular following his move to Arsenal in 2006 and five years later, he was joined by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who has also become a full international for England.

Chambers
has also been tipped for full international honours and is set to take the next step with a call-up for Gareth Southgate’s England Under-21 side later this season.

Southampton are already facing the prospect of losing left-back Luke Shaw. He is wanted by both Chelsea and Manchester United and is valued at around £30m.
